Biggest buff to Gannon is ledge trumping and rage IMO. Other then that you can't ever count him out, he just hits so hard that it really can skew mu's from bad to even. I don't think he's a great character but I think he's too dangerous to be in his own tier or bottom 5. The issue is on paper...

Tourney results are going to factor into tier lists but they're never the end all be all statistic used, the biggest thing is when a character is played optimally what it does against the rest of the cast played optimally. Tourney results and character representation are the easiest thing to...

Personally I think charizard does decently against shiek, he gets combo'd for days but he is really tough to kill for a heavy. Against shiek it's pretty easy to live post 200% and you can KO her very early when your rage is that high, actually if you make a good read you can KO her very early...

MK has a two camps, the over nerfed and awful camp and the " he baits and punishes and air combos like a boss camp. I think he's a higher end bottom of the pack character played optimally and he requires a lot of ability to play optimally now. He just doesn't put out damage anymore and it's...

I don't follow the tourney results very closely but even if that's the case all it means is a low execution character is doing well early in the games life cycle, I don't see this as a problem or something that really needs to be discussed unless it's to increase the knowledge for character...

Jax is a completely different character though, he was thought to be mediocre at the start of the game and then got buffed before a top tier player took him and started winning like crazy, then everyone realized oh boy buffing jax was stupid, also jax had no glaring weaknesses at any point in...

I agree with most of this post, but I wouldn't say any disadvantaged matchup, a 6-4 matchup is still very winnable by either side. I'm all for pocket characters to cover the odd 7-3 or 8-2 MU ( idk if anyone is calling any MU's 8-2 yet, though I could see it in this game ) otherwise I'd almost...

I'm a fool then, any character with any sort of gimping game gets to crush little Mac, he doesn't matchup well with any of the high tiers and he is a very predictable character. I don't think he is absolute bottom of the barrel due to his speed and punish power but no one is going to win any...

Megaman is really legit if you ask me, I had a post a few pages back that got brushed over talking about some of the things he brings to the table.

Great ground mobility, great perfect pivot distance. Really good throw game with a ridiculously long ranged dash grab. Biggest thing I think is the find of Uair combos into knee combos that are afaik guaranteed up to 100% damage, which is kind of a huge deal, U air isn't the best approach but...

The game doesn't need to be saved, diddly and sheik are both good characters and they have a lot of MU's in they're favor. But saying they need to be balanced to save the game is kind of a joke, it hasn't even been a year, it hasn't even been half a year. If they both destroyed every character...

So I got a good 5 hours of playtime in against my friends pretty legit megaman. Idk how much megaman discussion has gone on in this thread but I figured I'd throw in a few things. - megaman can cause trouble for most characters who like to approach with Nairs that don't have large hit boxes...

So I'm seeing lots of shulk vs Ike talk in here and I figure I'd throw my two cents in. Shulk has pretty lack luster customs, that's true, none of them are exceptional. But I still feel like he matches up better with a majority of the cast regardless. Really good shulk play is gonna take a...

I don't want to get too off topic for this thread but I'd consider myself a calculated risk taker, but I take a lot of risks, I love making big reads which is why I enjoy smash so much. I'm gonna be labbing bowser today, thanks for the breakdown sir.

Low tier mvc2 was always super fun but the difference between a high tier mvc2 character and a bottom tier is nearly insurmountable, smash has so many general skill aspects that a tourney player rocking gannandorf who's playing out of his mind could absolutely stomp someone playing MK... Is it...
